This power supply mechanism is configured to supply power from the power supply means to the striking massage unit 9 via wiring, and a cord is provided in the same arrangement as the air intake tube 14 of the air supply means. Therefore, illustration is abbreviate | omitted in this specification.

  The support member is a member provided on the outside of the airbag 12 when viewed from the treatment portion, and by restricting the airbag 12 from expanding toward the outside, the pressing force of the airbag 12 generated by the expansion is reduced. It is a member directed to the inner treatment part. The support member is formed as a strip-shaped plate member using a synthetic resin such as nylon or PP, metal, or the like so that the pressing force of the inflated airbag 12 can be supported.

  In the massage mechanism 6 of the present embodiment, the support members are the front support member 17 (front support member) provided on the front side of the head and the rear support member 18 (rear side of the rear side) provided on the rear side of the head. (Support member) and a pair of upright support members 19 (stand-up support members) extending upward from the rear ends (left and right sides of the head) of the front support member 17 are combined. Yes. Of the five pressing massage parts 10 (airbags 12) described above, the three pressing massage parts 10 on the front side, the left side, and the right side are supported by the front support member 17, and the two pressing massage parts 10 on the rear side. Is supported by the rear support member 18.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the front support member 17 extends horizontally from the left side surface (left head) of the head while curving rightward toward the front, and the front side (frontal head) of the head. Is a strip-shaped member that curves horizontally to the rear and extends horizontally, and finally curves to reach the right side surface (right head) of the user U. In other words, the front support member 17 is arranged so as to draw a semicircular locus from the left temporal region through the frontal region to the right temporal region when viewed from above. The front half of the head of the user U is surrounded.

The upright support members 19 are members that extend upward from both ends of the front support member 17 described above, and are provided in a pair on the left and right sides of the left side and the right side of the head of the user U. Each of the upright support members 19 is formed in a long belt shape having substantially the same width as the front support member 17.
The left standing support member 19 is a member extending upward from the left end of the front support member 17. The upper end side of the left standing support member 19 is formed to bend toward the right side toward the top of the head as it goes upward, and the upper end of the upright support member 19 extends to a position before reaching the top of the head. Further, the lower end of the left standing support member 19 is connected to the left end of the front support member 17, and the left end of the rear support member 18 is connected to the connecting portion 20.

  On the other hand, the right standing support member 19 is a member extending upward from the right end of the front support member 17. The upper end side of the right standing support member 19 is formed so as to bend to the left side toward the top of the head as it goes upward, and its upper end extends to the near side reaching the top of the head. Further, the lower end of the right standing support member 19 is connected to the right end of the front support member 17, and the right end of the rear support member 18 is connected to the connecting portion 20.

That is, these left and right standing support members 19 are arranged so as to be spaced apart in the left and right direction across the top of the head, and a first belt member 21 described later is provided between the left and right standing support members 19 that are separated from each other. Are connected.
Further, the upper end of the left standing support member 19 is curved toward the right side as it goes upward, and the right standing support member 19 is also curved toward the left side as it goes upward. Thus, by combining the left and right standing support members 19, a cross-sectional shape (arch shape) along the head of the user U is formed. Therefore, if such an upright support member 19 is provided, the head can be easily inserted into the massage machine when the head massage machine 1 is worn, and the convenience of the head massage machine 1 can be improved. Become.

  The rear support member 18 extends from the left end of the front support member 17 so as to be bent slightly toward the rear, and after reaching the rear side of the head, extends so as to bend slightly toward the front. Finally, it is a strip-shaped member that curves to reach the right end of the front support member 17. Both ends of the rear support member 18 are wider than the midway side, and the two pressing massage portions 10 described above are attached to the midway side in the longitudinal direction of the rear support member 18 side by side.

  The ends of the support members of the front support member 17, the rear support member 18, and the upright support member 19 described above are connected to each other using a belt member. Specifically, the belt member is formed in a long band shape using a flexible material such as rubber, and can be bent and / or stretched. There are four belt members: a first belt member 21, a second belt member 22, a third belt member 23, and a rear belt member 24.

The first belt member 21 is provided between the pair of upright support members 19, and connects the upper ends of the upright support members 19 so as to be extendable. On the middle side in the longitudinal direction of the first belt member 21, a hitting massage part 9 (first hitting massage part 25) to be described later is provided.
That is, the first belt member 21 is configured to connect the pair of upright support members 19 described above, and connects a narrow space from the upper end of the left upright support member 19 to the upper end of the right upright support member 19. It has become a thing. Therefore, the elastic force in the bending direction and the expansion / contraction direction generated in the first belt member 21 becomes stronger as the belt length is shorter, and the first impact massage unit 25 is strongly pressed against the head of the user U. Is possible. Therefore, it is possible to strongly press the striking massage part 9 against the treatment part, and it is possible to perform massage with sufficient strength on the treatment part.

  The second belt member 22 is a member that connects the upper end of each upright support member 19 and the middle part of the front support member 17 in a stretchable manner. A pair of second belt members 22 are provided separately on the left side and the right side. Yes. In other words, taking the left second belt member 22 as an example, the rear end of the second belt member 22 is connected to the upper edge of the left standing support member 19. Further, the front end of the second belt member 22 is connected to the center side (the front part of the user U) of the front support member 17 slightly from the left. At the time of wearing, the midway side in the longitudinal direction of the second belt member 22 extends from the rear upper side to the front lower side while curving so as to swell slightly toward the radially outer side in accordance with the curved shape of the head. . The second belt member 22 arranged on the right side has the same configuration as the second belt member 22 on the left side, and is attached to the left side second belt member 22 in a horizontally reversed arrangement. ing.

  A striking massage part 9 (second striking massage part 26) similar to that of the first belt member 21 is also arranged on the middle side in the longitudinal direction of the pair of second belt members 22, and the upper front side of the head. It is possible to perform a blow massage. In other words, the second belt member 22 has a positional relationship that is orthogonal to the first belt member 21 described above when the head massage machine 1 is viewed from above.

  The third belt member 23 is a member that is provided between the hitting massage parts 9 (second hitting massage part 26) provided on the second belt member 22, and that connects the hitting massage parts 9 to each other in a stretchable manner. It is. The third belt member 23 is provided so as to be parallel to the first belt member 21 described above so that the movement of the hitting massage portions 9 provided on the second belt member 22 can be regulated. It has become.

  In other words, if the second belt members 22 extending in the front-rear direction are connected to each other by providing the third belt member 23 extending in the left-right direction, bending and expansion / contraction of the second belt member 22 are suppressed, and the short belt length is reduced. For the same reason as the case where the elastic force generated in the first belt member 21 is increased, the impact massage portion 9 provided in the second belt member 22 is also strongly pressed against the treatment portion, and the massage effect of the impact massage portion 9 is enhanced. It becomes possible.

Among the massage parts provided in the massage mechanism 6 described above, the blow massage part 9 is a part that performs a blow massage that increases the blood circulation of the treatment part by repeatedly striking the treatment part, and both use electromagnetic force. In this way, the hammer body (massage body) is massaged by moving it in and out of the solenoid (electromagnetic type).
Although not shown in the drawing, the impact massage unit 9 is a hollow solenoid inserted in the center (exciting coil in which the conducting wire is wound) and a hollow portion of the solenoid. And a hammer body which can be moved in and out from the section. Further, the hitting massage portion 9 is provided with a spring member between the hammer body and the solenoid, and the hammer body is held in a state inserted into the hollow portion of the solenoid by using the biasing force of the spring member. ing.

In addition, as a means for returning the hammer body to the hollow portion of the solenoid in the hitting massage portion 9, a spring, a belt-like rubber belt, or the like can be used in addition to the spring member.
The hitting massage unit 9 described above includes the first hitting massage unit 9 provided on the first belt member 21 and the second hitting massage unit 9 provided on the second belt member 22. The first striking massage unit 9 is attached to the middle side of the first belt member 21 spanned between the right and left standing support members 19 and is stimulated by a hammer body at the top of the head. Can be added. Further, the second impact massage unit 9 is attached to the middle side of the second belt member 22 spanned between the upper end of the upright support member 19 and the front support member 17, Stimulation with a hammer body can be applied to the treatment area on the left front.

  Further, a telescopic rear belt member 24 that connects both ends of the front support member 17 is provided between both ends of the front support member 17 described above. Specifically, the rear belt member 24 is formed in a long belt shape using a flexible material such as rubber similarly to the first belt member 21 to the third belt member 23, and is folded. It is bendable and / or extendable. Further, the rear belt member 24 is provided so as to surround the rear half of the head of the user U when viewed from above, and includes a front support member 17 surrounding the front half of the head. By being combined, the head can be surrounded all around. If such a rear belt member 24 is provided, the rear belt member 24 can be freely expanded and contracted according to the size of the head of the user U with respect to the front support member 17 that is difficult to expand and contract. Since it is possible to bend, it is possible to perform treatment on the user U having different head sizes using the same massage mechanism 6, and the adjuster function has a complicated configuration and causes cost increase. It is not necessary to provide such as.

When performing massage using the massage mechanism 6 described above, first, air is sent from the air supply tube to the airbag 12 of the press massage unit 10 to inflate the airbag 12. Here, consider a case where air is sent only to the front airbag 12 among the plurality of airbags 12, for example.
When air is sent to the front airbag 12 in this way and the front airbag 12 is inflated, the airbag 12 hits the forehead of the user located behind the airbag 12, and the front head A pressure massage is performed by the inflated airbag 12.

At this time, the scalp is pulled or loosened around the frontal head in contact with the front airbag 12 as the airbag 12 expands. Such loosening of the scalp by the airbag 12 is also transmitted to the parietal side away from the airbag 12, and the scalp at the parietal portion where the hitting massage unit 9 is provided is also pulled or loosened.
When a current such as a pulse is applied to the solenoid of the impact massage unit 9 while the scalp is pulled or loosened in this way, the hammer body repeatedly enters and exits due to the electromagnetic force generated in the solenoid, and treatment on the parietal side The part is hit and massaged.

In other words, due to the electromagnetic force generated in the solenoid, the hammer body moves in a direction that protrudes downward (outward) from the position where the hammer body is housed in the hollow portion of the solenoid, and the spring member push-back force is applied while current flows through the solenoid. Against this, the hammer body is left in a protruding state.
However, when the current flowing through the solenoid is stopped, the hammer body moves in the direction of returning to the hollow portion by the pushing back force of the spring member. That is, in the impact massaging portion 9, when a current is supplied to the solenoid, a part of the front end side of the hammer body protrudes from the hollow portion of the solenoid, and when the current is interrupted, the hammer body is moved to the center of the solenoid by the pushing force of the spring member. Return to the hollow part. Therefore, if a current that repeats ON / OFF of the current, such as a pulse current, or a current whose intensity changes periodically is supplied to the solenoid, the hammer body repeatedly enters and exits from the inside of the solenoid, and the pressure massage unit 10 Thus, the head with the scalp being pulled or loosened can be further repeatedly hit by the hammer body with the hitting massage unit 9.

  In this way, if a hitting massage is applied to the treatment part by the hitting massage part 9 in accordance with the movement of the scalp by the pressing massage part 10, the treatment part (the person to be treated) has a different massage feeling from that when the hitting massage part 9 is applied alone. U). That is, when the pressing massage unit 10 and the batting massage unit 9 are made to cooperate, the treatment unit can exhibit a complex and rich massage feeling compared to the monotonous stimulation of the batting massage unit 9 alone. For example, it is possible to obtain an excellent massage effect of improving blood circulation on the face away from the location where the hitting massage unit 9 is installed.

  Moreover, in the head massage machine 1 of this embodiment mentioned above, support members are connected by the member which can be bent and / or expand-contracted like the 1st-3rd belt member 23 or the belt member of a rear side. Therefore, each belt member expands and contracts according to the size of the head of the user U, and the distance between the support members can be freely changed. The massage mechanism 6 can be deformed so as to fit the head of the user U according to the shape. Therefore, it becomes possible to provide an optimal massage using the same head massage machine 1 as it is for the size of the head of the user U that varies depending on the physique, sex, age, and the like.

Further, if a bendable and / or extendable belt member is used, there is no need to employ a large adjuster mechanism for adjusting the size of the massage mechanism 6, so that the configuration of the head massage machine 1 can be simplified. And will be able to.
Furthermore, if each of the plurality of support members is provided with the press massage portion 10 and each support member is connected using a belt member, the amount of the support member is more than that of supporting all the press massage portions 10 with one support member. The head massage machine 1 can be reduced in weight.

  On the other hand, when the airbag of the pressure massage unit 10 is inflated and contracted, the front and rear support members 18 and the standing support members 19 that support the airbag 12 also move slightly with respect to the head. Therefore, if the impact massage part 9 is attached to these support members as they are, the position of the impact massage part 9 may be shifted in accordance with the expansion and contraction of the airbag. However, if the impact massage portion 9 is fixed to a stretchable belt member like the impact massage portion 9 of the present invention, the airbag 12 can expand and contract even if the support member moves relative to the head. The hitting massage portion 9 attached with the belt member hardly moves with respect to the support member. Therefore, in the hitting massage unit 9 of the present invention, the hitting force by the hitting massage unit 9 can be continuously applied to the same location, and a stable massage can be performed on the treatment unit.
